Any PC techies on today?
I have built a PC with a SATA hard drive as my boot drive.

Can I install an IDE hard drive also?

I know I can't set it as 'slave' since it has its own connection, so how will this effect my SATA boot-up?

So I need to set it as 'master' then?

Re: Any PC techies on today?
Actually SATA does not use a master slave jumper setup.

If you have 2 SATA ports on your motherboard
The first one is master
The second one is slave.

Now you can list the SATA drive to boot or the SATA raid controller on the motherbaord to boot as the first boot device before an IDE drive.

Or list the IDE drive as the first boot device in the hard drive boot priority in your BIOS.

Hope that makes more sense.

Yes, I understand what you are saying - I can set boot sequence in bios. I did not think of the obvious. LOL

Re: Any PC techies on today?
Sata is seperate from ide so it doesn't matter, select the boot drive from the bios. Depending on what os you have you may need a sata drivers disk for the os installation to recognize the drive. Older versions of windows setup won't recognize sata drives without a driver disk when it prompts you to hit f2 to install scsi or raid drivers.

OK, Thanks all, for your help.

I will give it a try - so far everything has worked great so probably it will work just fine.

Go to your motherboard manufactures web site and down load the Sata Drivers.

Re: Any PC techies on today?
If you are going to boot off the sata drive and you are using windows you will have to do something special.

You can 1) download the sata drivers to a floppy and boot the windows cd installer. Hit F6 (I Think) in the beginning to load additional drivers.

or

2) Use windows xp sp2 installer disk which automatically loads sata drivers.

As people noted before make sure your BIOS points to the correct hard drive for boot sequence.

Your fine, I have a SATA as my main boot drive, and 2 ATA IDE drives as secondaries for storage.

 Quoting: Country


You CAN set a single IDE drive on a controller as a slave, you can NOT set 2 drives on the same control channel as both slaves (OR as both masters).

If your MB has standard IDE ports, you can add IDE drives, and it should have no effect on booting from the SATA, though you may have to change a setting in the CMOS to make sure you boot from SATA, or just don't format the IDE drives as primary partitions.
